NL100/105 Network Link Interface 

2.4.5  Reset 

This option reboots the NL100/105, using the last saved settings that have been 
programmed by the user. This option is different from the Defaults menu item. 
The Defaults menu item resets the NL100/105 back to the factory defaults.  

After the NL100/105 reboots, it may take a few moments to reestablish 
communication. Press enter a few times until the NL100/105 status line is 
returned.

When using the NL100/105 in a PakBus network, resetting the 
NL100/105 (or making other changes to the network that might 
change the known route to remotes), may result in lengthy 
communication interruptions until the new routes can be learned 
by all the devices in the network. 

NOTE

2.4.6  Help 

The Help option provides tips for navigating within the NL100/105 menu 
prompts and gives a brief description of each menu item. Help for a particular 
setting can be displayed by pressing F1 or ? at the prompt for that setting. 

2.4.7  Bye 

The Bye option is used to close the Socket connection at the end of a Telnet or 
terminal communication session.  

2.4.8  Other Commands 

Additional commands are available for the NL100/105, which are not shown 
on the prompt line for the device or in DevConfig. The commands are used for 
troubleshooting.
